Street Fighter 2: Dhalsim AX 2010

I got my new camera upgrade the Canon 5D Mark2, and I was eager to try it on the next cosplay event...Just in time for Anime Expo! Cosplayer Jordan's Dhalsim got the benefit of the ultra-wide lens I had, seeming to stretch his limbs.

Street Fighter 2: Dhalsim Arms Stretch

Cosplayer Jordan did his 3rd photo session with me as Dhalsim. Each event, we try to do something new. This time, I used a wide-angle lens to make his arms seem to stretch.

Street Fighter 2: Dhalsim Elongated Leg Kick

For a previous photo session with cosplayer Jordan, I used Photo Shop to make his kicking leg appear longer, as Dhalsim does in the video game. This time, I used a 16mm extreme wide-angle lens to create this effect.
Although I photographed Jordan inside the covention center, I later decided to photo shop him under a pier by the ocean, from my collection of scenery photos.
Jordan was daring enough to do this jump 12 times, landing on a very hard floor with his bare feet!

Street Fighter 2: Dalhsim Yoga Flame!

Something new Jordan and I had not done together was Dhalsim's Yoga Flame attack. Finally, it was realized through accurate posing based on the game, and some photo shop editing.
Don't his contact lenses make this even more eerie?
(Could he be related to Darth Maul?) ;-)
